and drop action is completed.</p>
<p>When a widget <a href="qwidget.html#acceptDrops-prop">accepts
drop events</a>, it will receive this event if it has accepted the
most recent <a href="qdragenterevent.html">QDragEnterEvent</a> or
<a href="qdragmoveevent.html">QDragMoveEvent</a> sent to it.</p>
<p>The drop event contains a proposed action, available from
<a href="qdropevent.html#proposedAction">proposedAction</a>(), for
the widget to either accept or ignore. If the action can be handled
by the widget, you should call the <a href="qdropevent.html#acceptProposedAction">acceptProposedAction</a>()
function. Since the proposed action can be a combination of
<a href="qt.html#DropAction-enum">Qt.DropAction</a> values, it may
be useful to either select one of these values as a default action
or ask the user to select their preferred action.</p>
<p>If the proposed drop action is not suitable, perhaps because
your custom widget does not support that action, you can replace it
with any of the <a href="qdropevent.html#possibleActions">possible
drop actions</a> by calling <a href="qdropevent.html#setDropAction">setDropAction</a>() with your
preferred action. If you set a value that is not present in the
bitwise OR combination of values returned by <a href="qdropevent.html#possibleActions">possibleActions</a>(), the
default copy action will be used. Once a replacement drop action
has been set, call accept() instead of <a href="qdropevent.html#acceptProposedAction">acceptProposedAction</a>()
to complete the drop operation.</p>
<p>The <a href="qdropevent.html#mimeData">mimeData</a>() function
provides the data dropped on the widget in a <a href="qmimedata.html">QMimeData</a> object. This contains information
about the MIME type of the data in addition to the data itself.</p>

to a drop at the point specified by <i>pos</i> in the destination
widget's coordinate system.</p>
<p>The <i>actions</i> indicate which types of drag and drop
operation can be performed, and the drag data is stored as
MIME-encoded data in <i>data</i>.</p>
<p>The states of the mouse buttons and keyboard modifiers at the
time of the drop are specified by <i>buttons</i> and
<i>modifiers</i>.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="dropAction" /><a href="qt.html#DropAction-enum">Qt.DropAction</a> QDropEvent.dropAction (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the action to be performed on the data by the target.
This may be different from the action supplied in <a href="qdropevent.html#proposedAction">proposedAction</a>() if you have
called <a href="qdropevent.html#setDropAction">setDropAction</a>()
to explicitly choose a drop action.</p>

the <a href="qdropevent.html#possibleActions">possible
actions</a>.</p>
<p>If you set a drop action that is not one of the possible
actions, the drag and drop operation will default to a copy
operation.</p>

instead of <a href="qdropevent.html#acceptProposedAction">acceptProposedAction</a>().</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="source" /><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> QDropEvent.source (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>If the source of the drag operation is a widget in this
application, this function returns that source; otherwise it
returns 0. The source of the operation is the first parameter to
the <a href="qdrag.html">QDrag</a> object used instantiate the
drag.</p>
<p>This is useful if your widget needs special behavior when
dragging to itself.</p>
